As promised, Google is ready to make websites respect Incognito mode whether they like it or not. The company has released Chrome 76 for Linux, Mac and Windows, closing a loophole that let sites detect private browsing by looking for the presence of a key framework. If you're tired of sites insisting that you either sign in or use the standard mode, relief is in sight.
We've tested the new approach ourselves, and it appears to work with at least a couple of news outlets that previously stopped Incognito users who didn't sign in.
Begun, the incognito wars have!

Remember the good old days, when CPU was singular?

Not sure how this isn't a dupe, but it's a nice gesture. Rather than focusing on how Gooble is evil and the browser is pwned, I'd like to see a follow-up on the reaction from the various publishers (maybe they will converge on screwing up their websites Washington Post style).
